“New Jersey’s economy relies on a safe, efficient transportation system, and this federal funding will help Newark airport run smoothly,” said Lautenberg, a member of the Senate Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee. “These runway improvements will keep passengers safe and help New Jersey businesses that use our airports every day.”

“This funding will help ensure Newark International has the resources it needs to run efficiently and provide travelers with the quality service they deserve,” said Menendez. “Our airports are important drivers of our local economy and with this investment we are helping ensure New Jersey remains competitive.”
